No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Ame ricans is like watching a table tennis game,” a British observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it almost makes your neck hurt.”Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans admire conciseness, or what they call “getting to thepoint.”Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼仪式的交流). Only a few ritual greetings are common: “How are you?” “I’m fine, thank you,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations Americans learn to recognize, and, like any ritual greetings, are concerned more with form than with substance. That is, the questions are supposed to be asked and the statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. In many American’s opinions, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy” or “too polite,” unwilling to reveal their true natures and ideas.Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members’ health—common among Latin Americans —considering them a waste of time.47. During a typical conversation between Americans, people try to be ________.a. politeb. interestedc. concised. friendly48. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennis game, the British observer means that_________.a. Americans like to take short turns in a conversationb. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching a table tennis gamec. Americans get excited easilyd. Americans talk with great expression49. Americans ___________ when they talk with Arabs.a. may lose their patienceb. have to listen very carefullyc. talk too muchd. never use English50. In the United States, ritual greetings __________.a. are very common in people’s conversationsb. are suitable in all situationsc. help to lead to a serious conversationd. have little substance51.According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of people who ____________.a.. do not talk muchb. do not pay attention to the speakerc. like to ask about other people’s healthd. bring too many ritual greetings into a conversationPassage 2Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up, and they probably will say “doctor” or “lawyer.”Though our culture, our economy, indeed our very security are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites(必要条件) for a career in science or engineering. Worse yet, only 6 percent of minority children are said to be soprepared.Don’t be too surprised. If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows.“Doctors help people. They save lives.” “Lawyers beat the bad guys.” Most students would say.Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice? The answers will be just as predictable: “Get real! Who wants to be a geek? They all are nerds. Besides, I hate m ath.”In our media, scientists and engineers typically are portrayed as introverted(内向的) and humorless. They always wear white lab coats, with a collection of pencils in their pocket protectors. They wear glasses with black plastic frames.If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them.They need to be told, for instance, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application of it in the hospital.It also might help if someone emphasized to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant(被告) by introducing the DNA evidence would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA.Whatever we do, until students stop thinking of the term “engineer” as a synonym for “geek,” it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers.52. What is the problem with most American children when they choose their careers?a. They have a very low opinion of science and engineering.b. They are too anxious to succeed in different fields.c. They are not sure what career suits them best.d. They do not have enough confidence in themselves.53. Which of the following has influenced American students greatly in their choice of their careers?a. Parents’ opinions.b. TV shows and various publications.c. Great discoveries made by doctors and lawyers.d. Culture and economy.54. In the passage, the writer criticizes the media for ___________.a. depicting scientists and engineers as nerds and geeksb. creating too much violence in the societyc. failing to report the great achievements made by scientistsd. using words like “nerd” and “geek” inappropriately55. In order to change the students’ view towards scientists and engineers, the writer suggests that _________.a. teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematicsb. students be told about the wonders of science and engineeringc. scientists and engineers change their images a little bitd. the media stop praising doctors and lawyers excessively56.. Judging from what is said in the passage, the writer obviously believes that _________.a. scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyersb. science and engineering have been dangerously ignoredc. American children are hopelessd. there are too many scientists and engineers nowadaysPassage 3Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25 percent ofbottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Co ca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners do n’t notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.57. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?a. It is a kind of iced water.b. It is just plain tap water.c. It is a kind of bottled water.d. It is a kind of mineral water.58. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.a. plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinkingb. bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterc. bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasted. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste59 The “fancier brands” (Para. 5) refers to ________.a. tap water from the Thames Riverb. famous wines not sold in ordinary storesc. PepsiCo’s Aqua fina and Coca-Cola’s Dasanid. expensive bottled water with impressive names60. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?a. Bottled water brings in huge profits.b. Competition from the wine industry is intense.c. Most diners find bottled water affordable.d. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.61. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?a. It is much cheaper than wine.b. It is considered healthier.c. It appeals to more cultivated people.d. It is more widely promoted in the market.Passage 4The first lap was good, I managed to keep up with the group, but I was feeling much more tired than I usually did, and much more than I’d anticipated. Both thelong , hard weeks of training that had led up to this _62B_, and the _63A_ from two days of _64D_ competition were showing in my performance. Mental and physical _65C_ were starting to crush me, and I had to fight back.A exhaustion筋疲⼒尽B championship锦标赛C fatigue 劳累D grueling艰苦的Passage 5I had _66B_(ed) sticks for him before and knew the approximate distance they would go, depending upon their weight and my motion. This stick, however, caught a gust and flying where the sheet wanted to go, sailed across the yard, over the fence, and with a fine skater’s touch, _67C(ed)_ onto the pond. As I looked up, I saw Hogahn racing through the gate and, with a_68A_ leap, crashing through the ice just short of the stick and into the water.A magnificentB toss扔C glide滑翔D slipPassage 6Not an event with _69A_ international consequences, you might say, _70C_ from a few passengers arriving late for their appointments in another country), but there are _71B_(s/es) of the story across the globe, in online editions of papers from Asia to America, via Scotland (Mouse chase holds up flight, in the Edinburgh Evening News).A momentous重要的B echo 回⾳C apart 分开的D stemPart IV ClozeOn a cold, windy morning, I was hanging up the laundry in the backyard, while Hogahn was playing a two-foot oak branch that had fallen into his _72_ possession. Focused on _73_ the sheet which was trying to sail _74_ over the pond to join the sky so that it draped _75_ over the line, I distractedly picked up the stick and _76_ it down the hill toward the fence that _77_ the yard from the water.But the stick went _78_ than I expected and fell into the pond. So did Hogahn, who _79_ to catch the stick. I was penetratingly aware of the dangers of _80_ in the icy pond, but I still walked into it to save the dog. After I carried him out of the water and rubbed him with a towel, Hogahn went over and examined my wet clothes on the floor. He was _81_ that we had shared a dramatic experience together.72 A lovely B loving C lively D living73 A catch B chasing C capturing D grip74 A off B away C on D around75 A clean B cleanly C clearly D evenly76 A throw B waved C rolled D tossed77 A separated B prevented C apart D departed78 A closer B nearer C further D faster79 A went B wandered C raced D moved80 A swimming B breathing C drowning D drawing81 A surprised B amazed C quite D pleasedPart V Translation82 The Opposition formed an alliance with the trade unions and ______________________ (发动了⼀次⼤罢⼯), which ultimately brought about the downfall of the government.83 This is because if so, the scholars know the latest development in their own fields andknow _____________________________(⾃⼰的研究是否有价值).84 In recent years, traditional media in the western countries are ______________________(衰退的趋势) and new media are developing rapidly.85 When John _________________________ (向他挑战，要跟他⽐击剑), he was very embarrassed because he knew that he was no match for John at fencing.86 If your job is rightly chosen, it will not only give you_________________________(可以维持⽣计的⼿段), but also help escape from the boredom and banish from you mind the worry about learning a meaningless life after so many years of higher education.。

Reading Comprehension (20 points)Directions: In this part, there are two passages. Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. (20 points: 10×2 points)Passage OneInternet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless virtual communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology, it’s about how it is used,”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study' s sponsors (发起人). “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”16. What's the finding of the research undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University?A. People spend more time on the Internet now.B. People spend less time with their families and friends now.C. The Net proves socially healthier than television.D. Internet use may cause a drop in psychological health.17. What had the researchers expected before the research?A. The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.B. Internet use may improve social health.C. Internet use has nothing to do with social health.D. Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.18. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.B. Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation.C. Undeveloped Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health.D. The wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.19. What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?A. It's necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services fortechnology.B. It's important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.C. Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.D. No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.20. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. How to Use the InternetB. Disadvantages of the InternetC. Social Factors and the InternetD. Internet May Cause Bad FeelingsPassage TwoThe $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.21. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?A. It is a highly profitable industry.B. It is based on the concept of positive thinking.C. It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.D. It has yielded positive results.22. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A. Encouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.B. There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.C. Unhappy people cannot think positively.D. The power of positive thinking is limited.23. What does the author mean by "… you're just underlining his faults" (Line 4, Para. 3)?A. You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.B. You are pointing out the errors he has committed.C. You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.D. You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.24. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?A. It is important for people to continually boost their self-esteem.B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one's mood.C. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.D. People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.25. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.B. Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.C. Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.D. People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.Part III. Filling in the blanks (5 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with five blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet. Y ou may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. (5 points: 5×1 point) (此题涂卡方式：1)所选答案是ABCD其中之一的情况下，在答题卡对应题号下正常涂卡；2）所选答案是E、F、G时，按照如下提示在相应题号下涂两个选项：E=AB、F=AC、G=AD;切记是某一题号下同时涂对应的两个字母组合！！！)When we think about where food comes from, we usually think of farmers planting seeds. However, a growing amount of seeds are being genetically altered in (26) ________ before being planted. These genetically modified organisms (GMOs) grow into genetically modified (GM) foods. A GMO is a plant-based organism that has its genes altered in a way that does happen (27) ________, or contains genes from another plant-based organism.Scientists have developed GM crops in order to produce certain (28) ________.

If you have concerns about eating GM foods, you may wish to purchase (30) ________ foods, call food companies to ask whether their products contain GM ingredients, or plant your own garden.Part IV. Translation (35 points)Section ADirections: Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese. (20 points: 10×2 points) (做在答题纸上)31.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).1.Skipping ReadingPersonality is to a large extent inherent—a type parents usually bring about a type offspring. But the enviroXXXent must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major fact or in the lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the win at all costs moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: “Rejoice, we conquer!By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an importantduty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged.Questions:1. Beside inherence, personality is also deeply effected by______________________.2. Person who has A characteristics is______________________________________.3. What was disagreed to in schools by the author?______________________________.4. Why is top management of school to fit a child’spersonality____________________.5. According to the 5th Para., B’s characteristic is suggested to be ________________.2.Deeply ReadingKite flying is the sport of sending up into the air,by means of the wind , a light frame covered with paper,plastic or cloth. The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been debeloped to serve various purposes.The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair ofbird-like wings,it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk. Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps. In fact , as recently as world 2 ,German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites ,which are no longer in existence,were made of light-weight cloth.They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design,however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size,this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame,no wings and brown-paper covering.Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today.

The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky BusinessWe are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct.

But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense."But Everybody Does It"Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manageto fool themseelves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating RisksTo decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future aswell as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits ("what's in it for me"), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a "0" on a test or assigXXXent; an "F" in the class; Suspension or Dismissal from school; transcript notation; and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away With It--Or NotThose who don't get caught pay an evenhigher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usuallycheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONL Y policy that works.Cheating Hurts Others, TooCheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect. Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but a cheater says, "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach; all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a blatant and destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity MattersIf cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individualwell-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education. In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.1.

She cooked meals, cleaned the house ,washed the clothes ,and did other housework .Her job at home was very important.In recent years, many couples(夫妇)continue to have a traditional relationship of the kind . The man has a job and earns the money for the family . The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house . Many Americans are happy with the kind of marriage .But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities(责任).There are two important differences in male(男性)and female (女性)roles(角色)now.

It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.51.According to the passage, what food do Americans like best?A. beefB. sandwichesC. hamburgerD. fries52.

Fast-food restaurants are very popular.B. People in the United States eat enough hamburgers to make a line around the world.C. Some people eat fast food in parks.D. People can eat fast food at work or in a park.ⅣClozeDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.One of the things I always believed is that no matter how bad something is, you can 56 something valuable out of it. The 57 I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I hear older people 58 about the attack on Pearl Harbor(珍珠港) and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 59 them in their lives. For my 60, the tragedy（悲剧）of September11can be 61 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 62 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.It wasn’t until a few weeks 63 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem 64 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother（麻烦的事）before are no longer a 65 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short, and 66, to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints（抱怨）and 67 I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “ 68 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say that for sure. 69 change in the blink（眨眼）of an eye. People go to 70 and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 71 minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 72 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).1.Skipping ReadingPersonality is to a large extent inherent—a type parents usually bring about a type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major fact or in the lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the win at all costs moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: “Rejoice, we conquer!By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged.Questions:1.

The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been debeloped to serve various purposes.The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of bird-like wings,it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk.Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps. In fact , as recently as world 2 ,German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites ,which are no longer in existence,were made of light-weight cloth.They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design,however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size,this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame,no wings and brown-paper covering.Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today. The first box-kite,named for its box-like body,was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early aeroplane.These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite,which consists of two main sections,placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind,it is the only modern kite described which has practical value . A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite,which carries fishing lines.1.The ancient Chinese bird-kites were usually made of light frames covered with_____.a.silkb.paperc.clothd.plastic2.The kites used by German U-boats in would war 2 for the military purpose were made of _____.a.brown paperb.plastic materialc.light-weight clothd.traditional silk3.The ancient Chinese man-lifting kites were used_____.a.to carry ropes across rivers and valleysb.for the military purposec.as toy for childrend.for fishing in strong sea wind4.Which of the following statements is not ture?a.The frame of a kite is attached to long string held in the hand or wound on drum.b.The ancestor of the double box-kite.c.The cutter kite has a diamond-shaped body but no wings.d.The current folding kite is developed to test theories of flight.5.The best title for this passage may be______.a.The ancestors of modern kitesb.The history of the chinese kitesc.different types and uses of kitesd.the different between ancient and modern kites.3.Fast ReadingWhy Integrity MattersWhat is Integrity?"Integrity" is defined as "adherence to moral and ethical principles; honesty." The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky BusinessWe are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct.

But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense."But Everybody Does It"Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themseelves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choicewe're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating RisksTo decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future aswell as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits ("what's in it for me"), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a "0" on a test or assignment; an "F" in the class; Suspension or Dismissal from school; transcript notation; and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away With It--Or NotThose who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usuallycheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONL Y policy that works.Cheating Hurts Others, TooCheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect. Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but a cheater says, "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach; all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a blatant and destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity MattersIf cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.1.
